Merseyrail from SouthParkway to Sandhills is a great service, despite well documented problems on return. The staff in ticket office are really helpful & friendly. One day one said buy your tickets here & keep us in a job. That'll do me. Buy from ticket office if there is one.

Some of you may point out that your local commuter rail line is not through running but should be, but is it as comically not through running as one? (Ormskirk, UK, where electric Merseyrail trains meet diesel Northern services.)
